1 ~ when did I stop believing in Santa Claus? [audio/action]

[action]

[A teenage boy is extricating himself with some difficulty from having been dumped, or appearing, in the middle of the fountain in the center of the village. He's muttering to himself and clambering out. He's dressed in the generic-enough North High uniform, but of more interest may be what he's saying -- which is picked up by the split-open journal next to him.]


...Really, Haruhi? After all of that, I'm in some other time and place again?! Oh, boy. She really just doesn't stop... Where the hell is it this time?

[Once he gets up and brushes himself off, he can be found staring with slightly less bewilderment than you might expect at his surroundings.]

That's actually not uncommon here. I've seen her pull that, only bunny costumes, I think. Not me, one of the members of the Brigade. I'm...kind of not in the Brigade.

[That's a new question.]

Why not what? Why not be in the Brigade?

...I don't know. I guess it never really occurred to me? I mean Haruhi runs it and I'm friends with a lot of people in the Brigade...I guess it's just not my thing, you know? I'm happier being here and working with clothes. [She gestures to the area of the shop around them.]

I guess it's just one of our boundaries. Either that or it's a way for us to spend some time apart. She ropes me into helping out by making costumes and stuff, and usually I turn up for the parties. Not sure if that counts.

You think? [She never considered herself an honorary member, but the more she thinks about it? The more it makes sense.] I guess so.

[She gestures to a chair off to the side.] Have a seat, in that case. You want me to start from the beginning?

Okay...where do I start. [She's going to go ahead and choose to skip over the part where Haruhi used to be Haruki and Haruki was in love with Kyonko before Kyonko left and there was Shiki and Neku who were just starting to be a thing before Neku left. So that means the start is...]

Well like I said, we met right around the time both of us had our friends from home leave this place. I was living alone, and Haruhi was living in a house with another friend of ours, but she was kind of...depressed I guess? I wouldn't call it depressed, more like cranky. [It was depression. It was definitely depression, but she doesn't want to share all of the details.] I kept visiting the house out of boredom and to check on her to make sure she wasn't going to go on a rampage, she finally got annoyed enough and told me just to move in if I was basically going to be around anyway.

Living with someone lets you learn a lot about them...

[Kyon. Oh, yeah, the name's definitely come up before. ...And Kyonko too, but he thinks he can go without weirding out the New Feather even more.]

Yeah, your name's definitely come up. So you joined the Brigade at the same time as Itsuki and the others?

[And now Haruhi sounds off, looking at the ceiling and counting on her fingers:]

Stand in vice chief is that guy right there, Keiichi Maebara. the deputy vice chief is Mikage. German-like, has word-magic, sort of gay. As for the normal members there's Leon, who made the teleporting units we're responsible for, Uriko who's been with us forever, Xion, Oswald [...] "the Lucky Rabbit" [That comes with air quotes] - he insists, technically this thing named Pommy, but he's inconsistent, same for this woman named Grune... and then there's Hiccup, pretty recently Alphonse Elric, Azusa Miura, and some loser named Ayumu who I keep around because he's got nothing better to do and needs some direction, being a zombie and all.

[A beat] Naturally, those are the members in Luceti right now. given this village's turnover rate, we've naturally had a lot more over time, but they've since gone home.

... Only sort of?

[You had to add that as a description, didn't you?]

You forgot to mention that Oswald is a black rabbit with pants and that Alphonse always wears a huge metal armor.

[Technically he IS the metal armor but, whatever.]

And... I don't know what Pommy is supposed to be.

[Hey, she added special descriptions to the most out-standing ones of them, why not add the rest? The others... Are apparently normal. Apparently.]
so_shik: (Ummm)

I figured as much. I got called an idiot enough times when I was trying to get through to her. Anyway, you know...this village gets put under a lot of experimentation. The Malnosso have put us through a lot but I guess thanks to them I got to learn a lot of stuff, see a lot of things she probably wouldn't have told me about. I think that's ultimately why we're friends. We know too much about each other.

Whatever. You'll probably like Ayumu.

On a brighter note, there's some good people here to meet.

Science, magic, who knows what it really was. [She shrugs, just giving him an unreadable look for the time being.]

What's that supposed to mean anyway? "For a normal person."
